Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Tim and Trey had played together some eight years ago, in a band that was a first collaboration for both of them. When that band split up, they went their seperate ways. However, fate would bring them together as bandmates again.
Trey and Steven have been playing together through several bands for the past five years. When a position for a bassist opened up, they called up Tim and he has been with them since.
Later, the band found themselves in need of a drummer, and Steven suggested someone that he had met at work. That conversation between Steven and Mike, for those interested, went something like this:
Not knowing what to expect, he came out for a jam session. Wowed by the rhythms that Mike laid down, the decision was unanimous. They had a new drummer. They then performed for three years, using different names.
When, for creative reasons, the vocalist left, the band searched for six months for someone to take his place. That's when Jennifer entered the picture, completing the five-person team once more.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We are based out of the northern Virginia area, and are making no plans to change that any time soon.
